Air filter time. Best air filter?

I need an air filter and was wondering where online I can get one for a good deal? Are there better aftermarket ones than the Acura OEM part?

Thanks,

Scott

Just get a K&N and never worry about it again, clean it once a year(more if you drive a lot, like 30k+ miles a year) with the K&N cleaner. Some claim slight HP and fuel economy gains with them, typically the throttle does get a touch more responsive, in particular if your coming from a dirty OE filter.

Careful with the K&N, gents. Our TLs do not have MAFs, but you may still find it necessary to clean your throttle body and throttle valve a couple of times a year. This is because the K&N is an oil wetted filter. And while the stock Honda/Acura filter for our cars is also oil-wetted, it is only oil wetted on the strong side.. not the lee side (this means the non-oil wetted side faces the throttle body).

Just be careful when cleaning a K&N. Don't go overboard with the oil.
